Chapter 264: 254 Shedding the Vest, The True Divine dical Saint! [1 More]
Madam Mu’s heart finally settled when she saw Mu Yuxi begin to write.
She was actually taking a gamble.
If Mu Yuxi didn’t sign, she had no way to force her.
Initially, Madam Mu hadn’t planned on trading with Mu Yuxi, but Mu Weifeng was too proud.
He would rather die of illness than agree to her terms.
But Mu Yuxi was different.
...
She had only just finished her middle school exams and entered her first year of high school.
A girl not yet 16, no matter how capable, lacks maturity.
And with Mu Weifeng being her own brother, standing here at this life-and-death juncture was itself a testant to Mu Yuxi’s resilience.
Madam Mu was afraid that, when facing a choice between power and family affection, Mu Yuxi would opt for the forr.
Thankfully, that wasn’t the case.
Madam Mu watched coldly from the sidelines, not even offering Mu Yuxi a seat, just witnessing her sign.
This docunt, once signed, would have legal effect.
And with Mu Weifeng’s life in her hands as the controller, she wasn’t worried about Mu Yuxi reneging later.
Mu Yuxi had just written the “Mu” character when the ICU doors suddenly burst open.
A nurse hurried out, “Is there any family of Mu Weifeng here? He’s awakened.”
Mu Yuxi’s hand trembled with excitent as she tossed the pen away, not caring about the backpack on her back, and imdiately ran over.
Caught off guard, Madam Mu was splashed with ink across her face.
“It’s over, sister!” Ke Huizhu’s expression changed, “Mu Weifeng has awoken; what’s the use of asking that cardiothoracic doctor now?”
Madam Mu wiped off the ink from her face with a tissue, still composed, “You don’t know the full story. He may have awakened, but he’s not far from death.”
“Several doctors from the Mu family said, if Mu Weifeng ever coughs up blood and faints, then it’s beyond any dical help.”
Mu Yuxi didn’t know about this.
Mu Weifeng never told her the true state of his health, always relaying good news and never the bad.
Of course, Madam Mu wouldn’t say anything either; she had to secure Mu Yuxi’s signature first.

In the hospital room.
After Mu Weifeng was wheeled in by the doctors and nurses, Mu Yuxi followed.
On the hospital bed, Mu Weifeng looked very pale, his breathing faint.
He lay there, like a broken doll.
Upon hearing footsteps, Mu Weifeng barely moved his head and spoke, “Xiao Xi.”
Mu Yuxi’s eyes reddened again, and the tears she was spinning finally fell, “Brother.”
She would not cry in front of Madam Mu, but this was Mu Weifeng.
“Brother scared you,” sighed Mu Weifeng, “Don’t cry, girls aren’t pretty when they cry.”
Mu Yuxi cried even harder, not daring to touch Mu Weifeng, “Bro, bro, Aunt Five said she has connections for your treatnt, as long as I withdraw from the inheritance competition.”
She wiped away her tears, trying to suppress the sobs, “Brother, you’re going to be okay, you just have to be.”
At those words, Mu Weifeng frowned, “She’s at it again? Speaking such things to you?”
Madam Mu’s tactics were not underhanded; they were outright exploitation in the face of disaster.
As if realizing sothing, Mu Weifeng’s expression suddenly grew stern, “Xiao Xi, did you sign it?”
“Not yet,” Mu Yuxi caught her breath, “You woke up, so I ca to see you first.”
Mu Weifeng’s tone grew stern, “Listen to your brother, don’t sign.”
“But, brother, your illness…” Mu Yuxi fell silent for a mont, “She wouldn’t deceive by saying that, otherwise, even if Grandpa doesn’t care, he wouldn’t just stand by.”
“Yes, I believe she could really bring the Divine dical Saint from the cardiovascular field,” Mu Weifeng coughed faintly, “but I don’t accept her charity.”
“You don’t need to agree to her terms. I’m aware of my condition; it can only be delayed, not cured.”
“Even if she brings that Divine dical Saint, it would only prolong my life by a few years.”
Mu Weifeng’s gaze was serious, “Xiao Xi, aside from your young age, you have no other shortcomings. I have high hopes for you in the inheritance competition.”
Mu Yuxi remained silent, her fingers tightly gripping her clothes.
Mu Weifeng slowly raised his hand to pat her head, his voice gentle, “Brother knows you worry about him, but don’t beg such people, and moreover—”
He paused, “If you withdraw from the competition, Mu Chenzhou will rise to power. Do you think the Mu family will fare better with him as the successor?”
Mu Chenzhou, raised by Madam Mu, even if not presently showing his true colors, it was a matter of ti.
Mu Yuxi still did not speak.
The hospital room door was knocked on once more.
The person who entered was the butler.
With the docunts in hand, just back from speaking with the doctor, he looked worried, “Young Master Weifeng, are you feeling better?”
Mu Weifeng and Mu Yuxi had been looked after by the butler ever since their parents passed away early on.
This was also Mu Heqing’s instruction.
Mu Heqing was too busy at the ti, stretched too thin to take care of him, but he always cared about Mu Weifeng.
The butler simply couldn’t bear to see such an outstanding person as Mu Weifeng die young.
“The surgery was very successful,” Mu Weifeng smiled. “Look, I can still talk to you.”
The butler also breathed a sigh of relief, unable to help wiping away the tears at the corner of his eyes, consoling, “Young Master Weifeng, the master actually has the most faith in you. I heard Mr. Mu Cheng say that this morning, as soon as the master heard your condition had suddenly worsened, he imdiately went to the Ancient dical Field.”
“If we could invite a direct lineage family mber from the ng Family, you would be saved.”
Mu Weifeng sighed, “They are willing to treat Grandfather, but it’s impossible for .”
The ng Family doesn’t just flatter with the notion ‘physicians are parents of their patients’.”
Indeed, the Ancient dical Field isn’t just comprised of the ng Family alone.
But the Mu family only has connections with the ng Family; other Ancient dicine Families are unapproachable.
“There must be a way,” the butler disagreed. “The master should have already gone, I’ll go ask Mr. Mu Cheng now. Young Master Weifeng, you must hold on.”

anwhile.
On the busiest comrcial street in the Imperial Capital.
Ying Zijin was eating a candied hawthorn stick, after biting into one of the hawthorns, her steps suddenly halted.
She closed her eyes briefly, then squinted skyward.
Teng Yunng, seeing her stop, asked in confusion, “Zijin, what’s wrong?”
“I had an impulse to do a divination.” Ying Zijin looked at the waning Moon, “Mars guards the Heart Mansion, the astrology chart is extrely ominous, a blood disaster, not good at all.”
Teng Yunng: “???”
She knew each word but combined together they made no sense to her.
“I won’t go back to the training camp tonight,” Ying Zijin put the unfinished candied hawthorn stick into a paper bag, “Sothing’s co up; ngng, please let Professor Zuo know for .”
“You’re not going back?” Teng Yunng was montarily stunned, “Training starts tomorrow, will you make it back in ti?”
“Yes, it’s a small matter.” Ying Zijin was nonchalant as she pointed to the sky, “You see that star, that’s Mars.”
Teng Yunng followed her finger but saw nothing: “…”
She wondered if she had gone blind.
Or perhaps, the eyes of their group’s beauty were extraordinary.
Ying Zijin put on a hat, hands in pockets: “Once that Mars moves away from the position of the Heart Mansion, I’ll be back.”
Teng Yunng truly saw nothing.
Because that was Mu Weifeng’s astrology chart, which wasn’t present in the sky.
She was rely using the sky to make observations.
Students from Norton University’s Astrology System also learned this.
She couldn’t predict soone’s lifespan now, but according to Mu Weifeng’s astrology chart, it indeed looked like he didn’t have many days left to live.
Teng Yunng watched the girl’s retreating figure in a daze.
After a long while, she took out her phone and made a call: “Hello, Feng Yue, don’t you think, Classmate Ying is a bit like a fortune teller?”

Imperial Capital Hospital.
Mu Weifeng had already fallen asleep.
He had just undergone surgery and his body was still very weak.
Mu Yuxi did not want to disturb him, so she left the ward to keep vigil outside.
When she ca out, it was already half-past ten, but Madam Mu was still there.
Clearly waiting for her.
“Are you done?” Madam Mu still maintained her composed and dignified deanor, smiling appropriately and generously, “Don’t you still not know the situation? I also looked at the doctor’s report, your brother’s lungs have been completely taken over by the shadows.”
“I suggest you sign quickly, otherwise, even if I bring the Divine dical Saint, your brother won’t be saved.”
Mu Yuxi’s fingers tightened: “I won’t sign.”
“Oh?” Madam Mu was not surprised, “Did your brother tell you sothing? When people are about to die, they still want to maintain their pride.”
Mu Yuxi repeated the sa three words: “I won’t sign.”
“Alright, you won’t sign.” Madam Mu’s expression finally grew somber, she sneered, “A girl like you cannot support the Mu family; I originally just wanted to give you a chance to save your brother, rember, you chose to refuse it.”
“I’m curious to see who could save Mu Weifeng!”
Having said that, she picked up her bag and was about to leave.
Just as she turned around, she bumped into several people.
It was the heading physician team making a return.
But there was more than just them.
Ying Zijin took the sterile gloves from a nurse and put them on, her movents casual as usual: “I’ll save him.”
